Of Christian reaction to Legabibo judgment

I have a dream that one day the church will be more embracing and affirming, especially those who do not fit in to the human thought normative.

The church, as a body instituted and constituted in love, should be more loving than acting as accusers. A loving person seeks to understand before passing judgment. One who loves, even when they do not fully understand embarks on a journey to learn and hopefully have facts before condemning. In fact, a loving person does not condemn others but seeks to journey with them in love, and then maybe, through their loving kindness they can bring change, necessary change, and not forced change!

I wish to thank God and our High Court for the judgment on the LeGaBiBo case. For starters, the case is not even about legalising homosexuality but about their refusal to register an organisation that seeks to lobby for the dignity and rights of our brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, fathers and mothers; and indeed our sons and daughters who, at least some, not by choice find themselves falling outside a bracket of the heteronormative.
